bought a garmin vivosmart 4...band is too small...

[xraiderv1]

ok, so I bought a garmin viviosmart 4 off my medical insurance' otc benefits site. (amazon link for convenience here)

small problem..the band is too small.

does anyone know where I can get one sized for a large wrist?

yeah, I know, less software, more 'peripheral needed to enable use'...but I feel it a valid question all the same.

Just to be sure -- you're saying the "large" size is still too small? https://support.garmin.com/en-US/?faq=F4DAb7aXla7Zm38iTib2v7

I saw in a Reddit post that someone used this with their vivosmart 4 successfully: https://www.amazon.com/B-Great-Sili...0&ascsubtag=UUacUvbUpU6959373#customerReviews

on the product page for my otc benefits..it says fits wrists 122-188mm now I'm no sizing expert....

edit: it appears the model I ordered is a medium band based on the measurements.

 

[xraiderv1]

if it dont fit..I'll just give it to my older niece.

What about that band extender I linked?

 

[xraiderv1]

added to wishlist, the watch will be here on..tomorrow actually.

and it actually fits..pretty comfortably on the second to last notch.

I don't own the watch but I have been considering getting one. I thought I remembered reading that it takes standard sized band attachments so you can swap them with most any band. That should make it easy to get longer replacements.

 

[xraiderv1]

if theres a way to replace the band..they must REALLY want us to work at it.

I can run with it on the second to last notch.

I think the vivosmart 4's band can't be replaced: https://support.garmin.com/en-US/?faq=azcNLA1A721NPsLqrZyPT6 I assume there are two different models based on the size, and you're stuck with that band.

 

[xraiderv1]

pretty sure of that myself, and my otc benefits site doesnt have the bigger band size, that said the one I got actually DOES fit on the second to last band notch.

I was getting my watches mixed up. It was the Vivoactive 4, not the -smart, that I had been looking at. Oops.
@xraiderv1 glad you are able to work with it, though.

so am I...cause I think my samsung galaxy watch active 2 is having issues with its software(keeps draining the battery faster than it should-new battery after servicing)
